  You’re using “User-Password” in the configuration.  Don’t do that.  It’s been deprecated and documented as bad practice for about 10 years now.

  Use “Cleartext-Password”  as the “known good” password for the user.

  That’s a useful message.

  You can’t authenticate a user when there’s no User-Password in the request.  Fix that, too.
